Description
Summary:A taxonomic review of the genus Neopachylus Roewer, 1913 together with keys to the species for both males and females are presented. Gephyropachylus marginatus Mello-Leitão, 1931 is considered a junior subjective synonym of Neopachylus serrinha Soares & Soares, 1947, and Huralvius incertus Mello-Leitão, 1935 is considered a synonym of Neopachylus nebulosus (Mello-Leitão, 1936). This genus is restricted to southern Brazil, occurring in states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Uma revisão taxonômica de Neopachylus Roewer 1913, juntamente com chaves para determinação de espécies com base em machos e fêmeas, são apresentadas. Duas espécies, ambas descritas por fêmeas, foram sinonimizadas: Gephyropachylus marginatus Mello-Leitão, 1931, considerado como sinônimo-júnior de Neopachylus serrinha Soares & Soares, 1947; e Huralvius incertus Mello-Leitão, 1935, considerado como sinônimo-júnior de Neopachylus nebulosus (Mello-Leitão, 1936). O gênero está restrito ao sul do Brasil (Paraná, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul).
